The 2025 Spielberg FIA Formula 2 round was a motor racing event held between 27 and 29 June 2025 at the Red Bull Ring. It was the seventh round of the 2025 FIA Formula 2 Championship and was held in support of the 2025 Austrian Grand Prix.

Leonardo Fornaroli qualified on pole position for the feature race, making him the first driver to take multiple pole positions in 2025, with John Bennett taking reverse-grid pole for the sprint race. Bennett lost the lead to Joshua Dürksen at the start. The race was red-flagged on lap 2 after Sami Meguetounif collided with Arvid Lindblad and Luke Browning, with his car landing upside-down on the track. Pepe Martí overtook Dürksen for the lead on lap 19, and held it until the end of the race, with Roman Staněk crossing the line in third. Amaury Cordeel looked set to finish fourth, but spun on the final lap, with Gabriele Minì, Bennett and Fornaroli all coming to a stop behind his stricken car.

Fornaroli held the lead at the start of the feature race. Of the front-runner, Victor Martins was the first to change tyres, followed by Richard Verschoor and Fornaroli, who fell behind both. Alex Dunne, who started seventh, also overtook Fornaroli on lap 10. Verschoor was able to pass Martins for the lead on lap 15, where he remained for the rest of the race. Dunne and Fornaroli also passed Martins to complete the podium. However, Dunne was disqualified after the race for excessive plank wear, with Jak Crawford inheriting the final podium position after starting fourteenth. Verschoor left the round in the championship lead, 24 points ahead of Dunne and Crawford with a further two points adrift in third.
